It wasn't one kid hospitalized. It was 8.

"Two Heath parents said at least eight students were hospitalized, according to conversations they've had with other parents.

The letter went on to say that at the beginning of Monday's athletic class, the campus athletic trainer advised student-athletes to see the trainer should they experience any of the following symptoms: unable to bend or extend arms, unable to lift arms above head, dark urine and sharp arm pain."

Yup, dark urine is definitely a symptom of rhabdomyolysis

They don't make high school students the way they used to.

If our gym teacher told us to do something too hard, or something we really didn't want to do we would just say "I can't" while pretending to try.

Coach will apologize, ask God for forgiveness and get a raise.   I hate public school coaches; they get away with so much BS.  My brother's bball coach in middle school would have 4-hour practices on Thanksgiving Day, but it was worth it because they had a killer 0-12 record.  The same coach called us "pu$$y fa*gots" on the football field because...reasons, we were 12 and 13.

I'd be willing to wager the coach couldn't do 4 push-ups, let alone 400. He probably hasn't done physical activity harder than moving from the couch to his mobility scooter in ages and has no idea how difficult physical exertion can be.
Or he's a meathead Joe Rogan enthusiast (but i repeat myself) who mainlines roids and spends most of his waking hours at the gym, so 400 push-ups aren't a big deal and he has no idea why n00b high school kids can't do the same.

One or the other. Either way, dude needs fired and kept away from kids.

Iin grad school, I was a greek god.  22 years old, benching 350lbs, cardio'ing for hours at a time, etc.  I doubt even then I could have done 100 pushups in one sitting.  400 is a ludicrous number.

That sort of punishment should be reserved for the Texas Legislature, governor, and Supreme Court.  One pushup for each woman turned away from proper healthcare.

I am all in favor of participation in school sports. I think it builds character, leadership skills, fitness, teamwork and other truly valuable stuff.

But I think parents need to empower their kids to say "Fark this, it's just football.  I quit."

8 kids hospitalized for a potentially life-threatening condition is way, way over the line.

I played tennis in HS and my sophomore year we had an awesome coach who was about 20 yrs old and really could relate to all of us. He also tended to get mad if we slacked off during exercises.  One thing he made us do is run around the basketball courts (there were about 8 in a big yard) with our arms outstretched the whole time.  It was a lot harder than it sounds.  So one day one of the seniors made a bet with him (forget what it was exactly) but the loser had to do that run around the courts.  Coach lost and started to sprint with his arms up like he was a badass. Halfway around he was limping and clutching his side with a massive cramp and barely wobbled to the finish line.  We were all laughing our asses off.  Luckily he was a cool coach and laughed too.

Shame this is in Texas as state law limits lawsuit payouts.

That coach should be not only be fired and banned from any kind of coaching or working with kids, he should be charged with child endangerment at the very least  and also most likely child abuse.

I'm up to 80 push-ups during my routine and it still kicks my ass. Granted, I'm middle-age and doing 4x20 reps (2 sets of 20 with a break while I do core in between), but 400 push-ups at any age is wayyyy too excessive even when broken into smaller chunks.

Tell you what, coach.  Now that we've had our time in the hospital, we've decided that you're going to do 400 push-ups, and every time You stop were Going to cut off a finger or a toe.  If you complain, we will cut off another one.

No you can't leave.  There's 30 of us and we've had it.  This is now the musical Matilda 2, and you're the bad guy.  Get to it.  Or we start taking pieces off of you while we sing.
